AWS Compute Optimizer

AWS Compute Optimizer analyzes your existing EC2 instances, Lambda functions, and EBS volumes to recommend right-sized resources. It doesn’t provision anything itself; instead, it scans usage data to flag underutilized or over-provisioned assets, providing specific configuration suggestions to reduce costs and improve performance based on actual workload patterns.

This fits teams already running significant AWS compute workloads who need data-driven tuning without manual overhead. The main friction is the lack of a free tier, meaning you pay for the analysis even if you only want to audit a small subset of resources. Since it’s strictly pay-as-you-go, the value depends entirely on whether the recommended savings outweigh the analysis fees.
